Commission members said the mayor’s office had provided a candidate name for one vacancy; three total vacancies remain. The chair said appointments will be forwarded to the Board of Aldermen for ratification and that the mayor is continuing to recruit candidates.

Daley Burnett explained the email limitation and offered a solution: he will retain access to the official housing‑commission email address and can send messages on commissioners’ behalf and set automatic forwarding so incoming messages are routed to each commissioner’s preferred personal or professional email. Burnett asked commissioners to send him their preferred addresses so the IT department can enable automatic delivery.

Commissioners said the office will provide notice two weeks before nominations are scheduled for a Board of Aldermen vote and that they appreciated having a mayor’s office point of contact for scheduling and administrative assistance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Housing Commission 03/12/25 ","oneSentenceSummary","The mayor’s office designated Daley Burnett as liaison to the commission, and IT clarified city‑owned email accounts cannot be used by non‑employees; Burnett offered to forward commission email and set automatic forwards to commissioners’ preferred addresses.

Martin said the core problem is lack of education and resource gaps among landlords and residents. She described a model that would combine remediation funding, educational resources, and compliance requirements so landlords who participate commit to follow‑through, and suggested the commission invite several pest‑control companies rather than rely on a single contractor.

Martin recommended forming a small working committee that would include pest‑control experts, landlords, tenant representatives and community members. She proposed public meetings—potentially in the public library theater—to gather landlord input and surface implementation details. She said successful remediation commonly takes six to nine months in buildings where all parties participate, and that a multi‑year effort may be required in heavily infested stock.

Commissioners supported the idea of preliminary outreach and asked Martin to recruit potential participating companies and community representatives. Martin said pro bono legal support might be helpful later in the program design to craft deed or lease language and enforcement mechanisms.","Commissioner Jessica Martin outlined a proposed pest‑remediation and education grant that would subsidize treatment, provide outreach and create a stakeholder committee; members supported outreach to landlords and development of a committee and public workshops.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107764,"Commission discusses HB 60, considers outreach to state senators over eviction changes",362,2354615,2716760,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772783-380607237d7591d4798deb2e83d07469&start=2354&end=2716","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772783-380607237d7591d4798deb2e83d07469/thumbnail_2354615.jpg","/articles/6107764/New-Hampshire/Commission-discusses-HB-60-considers-outreach-to-state-senators-over-eviction-changes","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107764-f6b65cb50f2f3eb0e5a86d3d1ab8ee78/orig.mp4?Expires=1770990522&Signature=evdZ671P13n7vuuYJHIB9-1oC7H9LuBdy2ba1seS0oX-Pu3jEbpTpvadFTI~hr7mOfE-z9cRZsyPy0pC5VtlXs6h~sM3HuJlJQhAzroSpSLLxyoW16ZZOddWuwVDZ4kBJbwAolAEIrfRwh1IMuBpYbiA2UPvshQXyMyOjwmmLCfy2rHNSibb39glMaFytufd~H5We8oJlfw3K04qjJzNbKhNxgh~F7MACHd6qEk4eOSIOPUcfNFXT9EXLdFAipE0LVB5sPwv3JbPjg6vSoU9av0KGvn7ct2IO21yrx9T3WorPzs9fQFJapJ8dq3aByU3dNB3JSNkdre8G1nj3z8KFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Commissioners spent part of the meeting discussing HB 60, a state bill concerning eviction rules and “no‑cause” terminations. Members said the commission should engage the mayor and Manchester’s state delegation to press for amendments or triggers tied to local vacancy rates rather than an immediate, unconditional change.

Commission member Joe Wigert summarized the bill's effect: “This is essentially, it allows no cause eviction,” and commissioners said an unconditional change could worsen local homelessness unless phased or tied to a vacancy‑rate trigger. Participants discussed proposed trigger amendments that would only enact the bill’s protections if the local rental vacancy rate reached a specified threshold (speakers cited proposals in the transcript near 2.5%–3%).

Commissioners discussed next steps: contacting state senators Keith Murphy and Victoria Sullivan to explain local concerns, drafting a formal letter for the mayor and Board of Aldermen, and encouraging commissioners or residents to testify during public comment at the March 18 legislative or municipal hearing. Several members said they would pursue direct conversations with the delegation and that a letter to the mayor and full board could be prepared for formal consideration.

Commissioners noted existing materials from both proponents and opponents had already been circulated internally and that further review of pending amendments would be needed before finalizing any formal commission position.","Commissioners discussed HB 60 (changes to eviction rules), expressed concern about local impacts on homelessness, and planned outreach to state lawmakers and a possible formal letter to the mayor and board.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6107768,"Manchester commission debates zoning incentives, impact-fee waivers and redevelopment to spur affordable housing",3051,127805,3179580,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2772783-380607237d7591d4798deb2e83d07469&start=127&end=3179","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2772783-380607237d7591d4798deb2e83d07469/thumbnail_127805.jpg","/articles/6107768/New-Hampshire/Manchester-commission-debates-zoning-incentives-impact-fee-waivers-and-redevelopment-to-spur-affordable-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107768-e69762caf0909e7a8f35d6aa13e065c8/orig.mp4?Expires=1770990522&Signature=erb8Or7zndHdNStJ~6c2zR7PEYOYxDaI5z924mc8QMZ9wvFjN8pthPvkLqeBXd6MaxdgmTzOSuJM6q5daQPds3-N-gWoaUC5gVdugFJWiEPYbLTIxhYeX3hx7xIBH58UyCCu85GroGlrD2-cVAosR1dbhMylQR6W-rMJ3VebIVr8D8Rd685UFQWXG2qqy~Mu-jU6AU5~CZdvyDV6Oip8h4n1QTbfs3JjAnCP0t0~cXwdVQFopnDuKWnoRph-mHXwynanTBYMak4H5Y8ZEyIgtjNnbVsC0LjuMizvscGotwzUw37EvyaAWTJIMHZwRsdqs6mvCxeGXu3wrWBpeHUlPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Members of the Manchester Housing Commission spent the meeting reviewing recent private projects and discussing policy options to encourage more affordable housing, including waiving impact fees for deed‑restricted units and creating an overlay “innovation zone” to incentivize teardown and redevelopment of blighted properties.

Commission Chair Joe Wigert and other members described three recent or proposed projects the commission has tracked: a mental‑health–related project on North Elm Street of roughly 40 units, a Brady Sullivan proposal to add about 50 units above a parking garage behind the plaza, and a third project in the 30‑unit range. Commissioners said those projects appear to be market‑rate rather than deed‑restricted affordable units.

The commission discussed structuring impact fees so that portions of a project made permanently affordable could be exempted from school and EDU impact fees. Commission members raised the idea of deed restrictions managed or supported by partners such as NeighborWorks to preserve affordability in mixed‑income buildings and suggested the city could explore an overlay or “innovation” zoning district to encourage redevelopment of properties that are vacant or functionally deteriorated.

Commissioners also pressed on tenant protections during demolition and redevelopment. One member asked whether tenants displaced by demolition would be rehoused or assisted during construction; commissioners noted that, beyond specific lead‑remediation rules, there is no broader state statute automatically requiring rehousing when a unit is condemned. The group discussed two practical pathways: privately financed redevelopment where an owner upgrades a holding and preserves tenancy, and sales to developers with capital to redevelop, which often entails tenant relocation.

Members reviewed process questions and timing. Staff said zoning changes are moving through a multi‑step review; the commission expects a second revision to be drafted and a statutory review period of about 60 days after that revision. If the second revision is issued in May, best‑case calendaring could push final action toward July, assuming no substantial aldermanic changes.

Commissioners identified several city parcels and RFPs of interest (including reference to Lincoln Avenue and the Pearl Street/Hard Net parking lots) and said some planned mixed‑use projects have stalled over parking and financing concerns. Members urged staff to collect application and wait‑list data for recent projects so the commission can quantify local demand and demonstrate need when proposing incentives.","Members discussed recent and proposed housing projects, possible impact-fee waivers tied to deed-restricted units, an “innovation zone” to encourage demolition/rebuild of blighted properties, and concerns about tenant rehousing during redevelopment. Commissioners expect further work after a second zoning revision is drafted.","actionData","errors"]
